Dear ALL,

I will be away on overseas hoiliday from 29th November till 5th December. Any important correspondence would have to wait till then as I would be most likely uncontactable. In case of emergency, you can drop an sms to 8_ _ _ _ _ _ _. However I might not be able to response to it.

Thanks and have a happy holiday!

Cheers,
Han Teng

Today i manage to move my butt and went out to run early or rather relatively earlier than usual. I left house at bout 0650. I initially wanted earlier to catch sunrise at ecp. However it was a little pointless anyway, cos it was a little cloudy and the sun from afar didn't look that impressive today. Maybe sunsets would be better. Thus i abandon my cam and run. I ran like 4+2 km, then jog for like 4.5km back. I nearly gave up jogging back. The initial plan was to run 4+3+6. Quite evidently i gave up after a while. This was in part due to lack of fluids providing areas. I was super parched cos the weather today though cooler than yesterday was a killer. Evidently the large amounts of vending machines on ecp don't really work. I nearly didn't want to jog back but walk back.

Still all in all i was satisfied to have ran, keeping in line of the myriad of goals i'm setting. But today's run unlike the other run made me realise a few things. I need some form of entertainment/encouragement/motivation to continue running especially after the 3km to 4km. A.k.a. I need a running buddy. However with my haphazard running schedule that should prove pretty hard to find. Secondly i really need to consider the logistical issue of water. I had nearly gave cos of an extremely dried up self but thankfully, i found it just in time. The bike stops were al close thus ecp might not be a good option all the time.

Well the morning visit to ecp was certainly eye opening. it made me realise how really ageing population we have. There were crowds of grandmas and grandpas do various morning exercises like tai chi and fan dances and what not. There was a handful of middle age expatriates with dogs, a few adults, little to no kids, barely any teenagers. Surprisingly there were more people running later in the morning than at the start. Hmmmm... Singapore certainly only starts after a certain time.

Any volunteers to be a running matE?

Today's a dreadful hot day. It was so freaking blistering hot that i decided to not run and my right knee was aching in a weird manner. Nvm tomorrow morning shall wake up in the wee hours to go run. I even decided to strap a compact camera with me. Shall watch a beautiful sunrise by myself!

Running running as fast as the light

Yay despite the little hiccup yesterday, my product was delivered or rather ready for collection today at eyecare specialist. It is *drum roll* my first pair of shades from rudy project!

My Raydon Exowind!

But on another depressing note was the extreme failure of today's simple meet up. Well i didn't hoped for much but had hoped that half of those who said they might be coming will come. Those who said that they are coming will surely come, and some of those who didn't reply do come. In the end, it was johnnie and me. So much for bonding as a batch. I dun know how best to react already. Maybe this only serves to show one thing. We are slowly but inexorably drifting apart. From a small gap to a gaping hole. Maybe i'm thinking too much or maybe we were never that close to start with and maybe it was just meant to be so.

Perhaps by next year i'll probably depart alone. Casted adrift by everyone. A sad prospect indeed.

Woe and behold

Yesterday in a way was such a waste of time. So much for new technology when it fails upon you. And so much for directives when you override them as and when you like. So dumb. And making me wake up early in the morning for 5 bx will not work cos you would see me much anymore anyway.

But the most depressing news is that my purchase made last sat is totally out of stock such that i can only possibly get it like in a month's time. Tsk tsk the manufacturer needs to take stock man... And the distributor might have check more carefully before promising the retail outlets. But then i'm fine with it cos i half expected such things might happen. Especially when it is not very widely distributed here. Ah well can't blame the shop cos they didn't mean it. Keep my fingers crossed then!

No idea what to do today and tomorrow. Any great awesome fantastic suggestions?

My maiden run on a sound body in a sound mind: anima sana in corpore sano

As promised, i dragged myself out of bed today at bou 730, change and put on my new asics kayano-15!. I run to bedok reservoir park, took a 3-5 min breather, got 100 plus from sheng siong, walked around bedok reservoir awhile, nearly getting lost a bit, then ran back home. I think though not sure since there were unmarked distances, ran about 4+3 km or so today. Felt so happy to have started on one of my goals to achieve after ord!

Call it psychological or what but this was certainly one of the most comfortable run yet. My knee didn't really hurt much like usual. My feet wasn't that numb and unfeeling. Only thing was somehow near the arch of my left foot there was a blister which only develop when i was running back home. Suprisingly, or really not, i found that i wouldn't really be as bored as i thought, keeping the same state of mind i keep when i swim alone. I guess this seems like a good start and i sincerely do hope my determination holds out on me.

Night run anyone?
